You're right.

Supermicro X9SR
Intel Xeon E5 1620v2
4 cores / 8 threads
3.7 GHz / 3,9 GHz
10 Mo cache
64Go DDR3 ECC 1600 MHz

Debian 8 stable.

I've no internal router in a dedicated  VM. I only use pure Linux 
network tools (network layer + netfilter/iptables) with geoiptables, 
fail2ban and other classic tools.

Between hypervisor and a VM : 8500 Mbps
Between two VM using a virtual intranet : 4500 Mbps.
Internet connectivity : 1000 Mbps (with very good peering).

8 cores should be better. But no money for :)
It's a second hand server. But worth the price...
